DEAD MAN 2026

On a dark and stormy night, a lone private eye investigates a crime everyone wants to forget. It’ll definitely take more than one clown to figure this all out.

1940s NOIR theatre from a clown Point-of-View. I think we’re safe to assume somebody’s dead. Or somebody dies. The case will be solved or… well, there’s a case to be solved . .

WORD:

“Great Noir Fantasy Comedy with a twist!”

“An original dark clown comedy—clownedy?— with a deft cast that had me laughing from the first line and left me in tears.”

“brilliant”

Theatre can’t survive in a vacuum (supply your own Jr. High joke here). It takes a community.
